As part of it’s State of Racism series, The Metro published this article exploring racism within the charity sector and the #CharitySoWhite campaign.

‘#CharitysoWhite is not about diversity and inclusion, rather about an acceptance that institutional racism permeates the work of the sector, which in turn creates and perpetuates the structural barriers faced by people of colour,’
— Ayesha Gardiner, Organiser at Charity So White
